Common Snakes of Ohio: There are over 25 different snake species found in Ohio and out of those, three of them are said to be venomous. With steep valleys, rugged hills, big lakes, long rivers, isolated islands and drainage basins, the state has plenty to offer the average snake looking to snack on water-dwelling creatures such as frogs, toads and even newts and salamanders.

Venomous snakes of Ohio: There are only three venomous snakes and they are:

Timber Rattlesnake
Also known as the timber rattler, this snake usually measures in between 35 and 55 inches in length, a yellow or brown coloration with black or brown bands going from one side to the other across the back.

Eastern Massassauga Rattlesnake
The second venomous snake of Ohio is also a rattlesnake but this time, the Eastern Massassauga Rattlesnake, a slightly smaller species measuring just 20-30 inches in length. A darker color than the timber rattlesnake, this one is usually a brown-gray color with darker almost bow-shaped patches running down the length of its back. You’ll find this snake commonly in the northern parts of the state, and also along the color, glaciated areas to the west.

Northern Copperhead
Around the same size as the Massassauga rattlesnake, the northern copperhead (25 - 36 inches) is a pit viper that is often referred to as the copperhead snake.
